Hello friends! I want to thank you for your support and encouragement while developing this site. It means the world to have you by my side and I look forward to the continued building of our community. I hope you have enjoyed this journey so far and I encourage you to stay on board to be part of the ride. Like all things, ‘soul style’ will continue to evolve so I thank you in advance for your patience. One recent change is the site name – you can now find me at yoursoulstyle.com.

Also stay tuned for ‘project soul style‘ which will launch in the coming weeks. You can find information on the ‘project soul style’ tab on the home page. Keep checking back and stay tuned!

The ‘soul style’ movement is about self-expression through the vehicle of style. From the beginning of time dress has symbolized culture, social grouping, profession, power, socioeconomic status, etc. Indian women pierce their nose signifying beauty and marriage and the sari (both print and color) represents different meanings and implications. Religious Jewish women cover their heads with a sheitel for modesty and in Japan the kimono is still prevalent despite westernization. One could argue that these ladies have it easy – the homogeneous nature of their culture facilitating predetermined style choices. Traditions prevail and choices are limited. But what happens when you’re not part of a culture that lays it all out for you? When you’re thrown into the fashion abyss and can choose anything with no rules or regulations – no boundaries and no parameters around how to define yourself? How do you create your ‘soul style’?

The most important thing to remember when developing your sense of style is that you are only at your best when you are truly being yourself. Looking at others and expecting to feel satisfied while copying them will eventually prove to be unsuccessful (*disclaimer – to copy and be inspired by are not the same thing). I can’t tell you how many times I’ve worn something after seeing it on someone else (or in a magazine) and wound up feeling completely out-of-place all day. Has this ever happened to you? You just feel off? I’ve realized that not everything is going to connect even if it looks fabulous on the gal standing to my right. It needs to be and feel like me! ‘Soul style’ is about finding your own rhythm and determining what works best for you and only you. Like the women of India and Japan you can also engage in traditions, but the best part about yours are that you can be the creator of them.

Join me on this journey and I will give you the tools to help you get there.

Personal style silently defines us which is why at soul style my goal is to make sure that you are shining through

xx – Jenny
